The local editor of the Press and Re-
porter is now wcdging in little farming
between times to fill mp space. We
noticed some Of his oats tie other day;
they are about ready for digging. He
has thrilling experience with vicious
COW. The naughty cow attacked him
while he was farming. The attack was
both sudden and unexpected, so much
so that said local editor beat an exceed
ingly hasty retreat. Said local vows
that he has not been so badly scared
since the days OF Gettysburg.

See to it business men and land owners.
Last week we took our annual trip to
Frcshley's Crossing Oh Broad River to
look after the finny tribe. We were
forcibly impressed at the appearance
and fine condition OF the crops all along
the route of the C. & G. Railroad. Evi'
dently the land and the crops are in
much better condition than they have
been for years past. We saw some a;
fine wheat as ever grows in this coun'
try. Oats is below the average. Every
body. both in Fairfield and Lexington
Counties, is iubilant over the present
crop prospects. After enjoying tine hos
pitality of some of our old friends anc
comrades for two Gays and nights, an
catching about three hundred pounds o:
catfish, We returned we'll pleased, bu
nearly sick from eating too many rich
jnicy fish. Mr.. Editor, if you ever wisE
to enjoy real good catfish fry, and te
catch just as many as you want, go tt
Freshley's with-somc one who know:
how and where to fish.
On Fri!ay last the Newberry Confer
encc of the Evangelical Lutheran Churct
convened in ST. Luke'S Church, neal
here. The opening sermon was preached
by the chairman, Rev. Il. w. Bcden
baugh. The only question which pro
voked anilaatcd debate WAS the question
of redistricting certain pastorateS. ThI:
power formerly belonged to the synod
but synod Delegated the power to con
ferenccs to rchStlict in their individual
. Jurisdictions. This hls always been ;
troublesome problem, growing ont o
new organizations arising and forming
| and the old ones not readily consent IN!
